What is an intubation set?
The intubation kit contains supplies for endotracheal intubation to ensure the patient's airways. This may be necessary for a patient who has difficulty breathing or is preparing for surgery where the airways are checked to supply anesthetic gases. The sets contain everything that doctors need to do intubation safely and quickly. They are usually carried out on board ambulances and rescue vehicles, except that they are supplied in hospital cabinets and trolleys so that they can be quickly accessible in an emergency. This device allows care providers to look at the patient's respiratory tract, which is illuminated by a small light -powered battery contained in the handle. The blades move the structures in the throat aside so that the tube can be inserted smoothly. Since the size of the neck can be very variable, it is important to have different sizes available in intubation to prevent injury to the patient for the patient. These include very small tubes designed for newborns and range up to larger sizes for D dOsly. The instructions provide gross estimates of the right size, and care providers also learn from experience in choosing the right size in the intubation set. The pipe must be large enough to get oxygen into the patient's lungs without being so large that it causes injury.
Other supplies in the intubation set may include pliers, emergency scissors, tape, syringes and cuffs. These allow care providers to do things such as recording the airways on the spot to avoid moving, cutting off clothes that make it difficult to ensure treatment and grasp obstacles in the throat to be removed. This may be particularly important in the field where any classes of cones and a patient who do not breathe or have difficulty breathing needs a rapid intervention to get into the hospital for advanced care.
In hospital environments, some endotracheal intubations take place in emergency rooms and other crisis situationsoce. For situations such as surgery, the anesthesiologist may supervise the process in a controlled environment to prepare the patient. Intubation may also be needed in intensive care patients who cannot breathe separately and need mechanical ventilation. After intubation, patients may experience some sore throat and may have to practice respiratory exercises to regain lung strength and elasticity. Extended intubation, such as intensive care, can also increase the risk of infections and other complications.
